Haiti can't play at home. Their quarter-final against the USA is now in Miami, where Haiti once sold out 26,700 seats.

Concacaf approved Haiti's request on Thursday 22 October: the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final against the United States moves from Kingston, Jamaica to Nu Stadium in Miami. 1 The fixture still counts as Haiti's home game, and it stays on Saturday 14 November at 4:30pm ET (1:30pm PT). 23 The second leg is at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati on 17 November, 7pm ET (4pm PT). 4

The confederation called it an "exceptional hosting arrangement". 1 Haiti may now stage designated home matches inside the opponent's country, rather than at a neutral venue in the Caribbean. 2 Each match needs fresh approval from Concacaf's administration, the opposing federation's agreement, and a stadium that meets the confederation's guidelines. 2 The arrangement lasts as long as Haiti's security crisis does, and the Council can amend or withdraw it at any time. 1

Haiti had been booked into Sabina Park in Kingston, a cricket ground that served as Jamaica's national stadium until 1962. 1

Haiti have played no home match on their own soil since July 2021, when president Jovenel Moïse was assassinated. 1 The United Nations estimates that 90% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is controlled by violent gangs, the national stadium included. 1 Gang violence has displaced nearly 1.5 million people. 2

Their World Cup qualifiers were staged in Curaçao, Aruba and Barbados. 1 This autumn's two League A home games went to Kingston, where they drew an average of 297 spectators. 1

South Florida holds nearly half a million people of Haitian descent, the largest such population in the United States. 1 Nu Stadium has already held one Haiti crowd: the venue's first international, a pre-World Cup friendly against Peru in June, sold out at 26,700. 1

For the United States, the practical effect is two quarter-final matches on home soil.

Both legs and the December friendly are in the Eastern time zone.

The December match replaces the traditional January camp, and Mauricio Pochettino said it gives his staff an extended look at MLS players. 5 The United States won all four of their friendlies this autumn. 5 The winner of the Haiti tie reaches the Nations League finals in 2027. 5
